Aster Falls

Gina Rink and Sarah Savage
2.8 miles, 300’ gain, easy

A gentle forest stroll with delightful scenery that ends at a lacy cascade waterfall in the Two Medicine valley of Glacier National Park. Enjoy views of SInopah, Rising Wolf and other peaks. Great opportunity to see moose. About 3 hours.

Hall Creek Drill Site Overlook

Lou Bruno and Mike Wikstrom
5 miles, 900’ gain, moderate

An oldie but a goodie back by popular demand. Enjoy a walk through forests, aspen stands, and open meadows to an overlook of the proposed Hall Creek Drill Site. Recall the victorious fight against oil and gas leasing as well as enjoy views of Glacier National Park. About 4 - 5 hours

Aspen Parklands in the Badger-Two Medicine

Peter and Renee Metcalf
9.5 Miles, 1,200’ gain, difficult to strenuous.

A new lollipop hike that wanders through the stunning aspen parklands and coniferous forests below Two Medicine Ridge. Pleasant walking, more rolling than climbing. Good chance to see signs of wolf, grizzly bear, elk and moose, maybe even the animal itself. Two low water stream crossings may require sandals or bear feet. About 6 hours.

Connect the Crown Bus Tour

Jeff Gailus and Special Guest
Bus Tour with stops, easy.

Enjoy an air conditioned bus tour of the US-2 Corridor with stops to view and visit about a few key areas identified as prime candidates for future wildlife accommodations, including the proposed Gateway to Glacier Wildlife Crossing. Bus provided by Sun Tours. About 4 - 5 hours.
